Multifunctional Minimalist Couches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Lazyfold by Khalid Shafar is a Creative Seating Design

— February 4, 2013 — Art & Design
This creative seating design by Khalid Shafar was inspired by an old-school technique of cotton stuffing, learned by Shafar through shopping experiences with his mother in Dubai. Lazyfold is a mattress that has been folded seven times. When extended to three folds, it transforms into a low daybed.

The sluggish functionality is perfect for any university student living on their own or with friends. It is practical, intuitive, handy and low-maintenance. Although it looks slightly sloppy at times, it is done so in the coolest way possible. This creative seating design is also ideal for those with little space in their homes. By placing this in the living room, one can have a bed as well as a sofa for when guests come to visit.
